New YORK. Nov. o5.-The trial of
Herr Most was continued to-day. COun-
sci, in the opening address, declared
that it was not Most, but freedom of
speech that was on trial. He proposed
to prove that the detectives who testified
to Most's language were not present at
the meeting; that the published reports
were incorrect; that the reporter who
had written fair report of Most's
speech would be produced; that Most
would tell his own story, and
that those present would swear
that when one of his auditors
wanted to begin the work of destruction
at once, Most cOunSeled patience.
Adolph Schenck, convicted with Most
last year for talking in an unlawful as
semblage, was the first witness. Officer
Sachs had testified that Schenck pre-
sided at the meeting and introduced
Most. Schenck sWOre that he was on
Staten Island on the night in question.
He admitted that he was an anarchist
and in favor of bringing about a revOlu-
tion of society by force if necessary. He
described anarchy as condition of
things wherein people ruled them
selves in communities without any state
or general government, without courts
and without law. Common sense should

ed that Policeman Sachs should get the
full extent of it. Moritz Schultzer, a
printer in the Freiheit office, swore
that he presided at the meet
ing and introduced Most, and
that Schenck was not present.
Schultzer stated that Most addressed
his hearers as "FellOw Citizens" not
''Fellow Slaves or Brother Anar-
chists,'' and that when a voice called
ont. ''Revenge" Most replied: mot to-
lay, the revenge is hid IN the lap of the

AN ILLINOIS SHEOL.
Progress of the Sanguinary Feud
in Hardin County

ELIZABETuTOwN, ILL.,, Nov. 25.-The
| Hardin County vendetta, which threat
ened to depopulate two counties a
few months ago, has broken out again.
and two more desperate manhunterS
have been rushed hence without having
an opportunity TO remove their boots.
The cemetery record shows total of
thirteen killed. five of whom have taken
their departure this year. The story of
the tragedy that provoked the feud is
well known throughout Southern Hill
nois. Ten years ago, Logan Belt, des-
perate character, shot and killed Doc
Oldham at a dance in the Oldham home
stead. Both men were among the most
prominent in the country, and the eX-
citement reached high pitch. The
community took sides. and when Wash
Covert, witness for the prosecution,
was laid low with charge of buckshOt
the trouble began. Luke Hornbrink,
who was connected with the Oldham
faction, was assassinated on his door
step. Ed Belt was soon after shot from
ambush and killed. Logan Belt was
sent to the penitentiary for the killing
of Doc Oldham, and Bill Fraley went
up for the shooting of Covert. During
the trial ku-kluX organization, of
which Belt was captain, and which con-
tanned some of the best men in the
county, was exposed. This band was
called ''Sons of Liberty" and its osten-
sible object was to regulate" citizens.
While Belt and Fraley were In the pen
itentiary couple of men were killed on
each side. After they were released
BELT WAS INDICTED
for the assassination of HOrnbrink. and
was tried last spring and acquitted.
Three weeks later he was shot dead
from ambush. Two weeks after Capt.
Logan Belts death his brother, Jim Belt
wasishot and killed OH the same spot,
Cave-in-Rock. These assassinatiOns pro-
duced great CONSERVATION, and the
friends of the Belt faction, among whom
wasiEarl Sherwood and others, received
ortiars to emigrate, and they moved into
an adjoining county. Then Judge Hess,
of the circuit court, who presided at
Belts trial. was threatened with death
if he did not leave. He armed himself
and is still here. Last Tuesday night
dance was given at farm house near
Battery Rock. Among those who at
tended was Joe Blair, Belt partisan,
and Soc HugletOn, a relative of Old
hams. Bill Fraley. who removed Gov
ert, was also among the spectators.
About o'clock in the morning the fes-
tivities were terminated by the report
of pistol and Hugleton staggered back
against the wall. while Blair advanced
on him with the weapon. Before the
aggressOr could fire again Hugleton
sprang upon him like tiger, and dur
ing the struggle that ensued the lights
were extinguished. a half dozen more
shots were fired and the dancers rushed
panic-stricken out of the house. Ten
minutes after the first pistol shot all
was quiet again and half dozen young
men returned: They lighted lanterns
on the floor. HugletOn had been shot
twice through the body, but had sue
ceeded in drawing knife and the re-
suit of his awful work was seen in the
twelve wounds on Blair's body. The in

one member on the list of twenty-five
candidates is ineligible for election, the
whole twenty-five, who are voted for to-
gether as a group, are declared disqual-
flied. This one mans fault diSqualifieS

of the day. There was strong and
practically unanimous expression in
favor of an aggressive stand in
favor of legislation regulating

THE KNIGHTS OF LABOR.
VI r. POwderly Delivers II Lecture
in Aid of the Striking Miners,

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 25.-''The Past,
Present and Future of the Knights of
Labor" formed the subject CT what
was termed lecture by General Master
Workman l.. V. POwderly this evening
in Industrial hall in aid of the miners
on a strike in the anthracite coal region.
The body of the hail was comfortably
filled with knights ana their friends.
among whom were many women. Mr..
POwderly spoke without notes. and by
no means confined himself to his sub
ject. After denOuncing monopoly as
something that, if allowed TO
have its way, would make this
land living hell, and the
most accursed under heaven, the
speaker glanced at the early history of
the knights, whose organization he de-
clared was 1.-The strongest in point of
numbers, intelligence and manhood of
any that ever blessed any country"
After saying considerable about immi-
grafton and the necessity for restricting
it to those able TO understand the priv
ileges of the country, Mr.. Powderly
turned TO the troubles in this
state and said, "A breaker is
burned an d the telegraph conveys the
news that the miners have burned it. /
say that is barefaced lie. The miners
know better than TO burn down a
breaker which gives them their work.
No miner ever burned breaker in the
entire length and breadth of Pennsyl-
Sylvania." Mr.. POwderly then said that
the government should take the coal
fields for its own use, so that in case of
war it should not be compelled to rely
on corporations for the coal for its YES
sells to carry on warfare against the
enemy. He advocated the government
controlling and owning the telegraph,
and then branched off on the political
party of the Knights of Labor, closing
with the remark that the Knights of
Labor were not going to pieces.

THE ARENSDORF TRIAL.
A Witness on Hand Who Claims
Leavitt Killed HaddOck.

Special to the Globe.
Sioux CITY, To-. Nov. 25.-In the
Arensdorf trial to-day the time has been
largely taken up in proving the bad
character and general unreliability of
the JOsephsonS who testified Tuesday
that they saw Arensdorf shoot Haddock.
A number of witnesses were introduced
from Yankton, where JOsephson and his
wife lived previous to coming to Sioux
City. All told the same StOLy rs to the
character of the states witnesses, both
morally and otherwise. James junk
and James Scollard said they could not
remember having seen John Robinson
in Junk's saloon just previous to the
murder, although they admitted that he
might have been there. RobinsOn's
testimony on Monday went far towards
establishing the fact that ArenSdOrf
went with the crews from Junk'S to the
place of the killing. and spOils the force
of his alibi evidence. Mrs. Satler, who
worked at the Lone Star res
taurant at the time of the
killing, swOre that the Josephsons de-
livered milk there at q 80 p. III. that day.
and not at 10 o'clock as they testify.
The defense has new witness in the
person of a Mrs. Patterson. Her evil
dence will be equally sensational as that
of the JOsephsonS. Mrs. Patterson is a
woman of middle age and earns her
living doing washing and other work
from place to place. Her testimony will
be to the effect that ION the evening of
the killing she had been doing some
work at Mrs. Frisbie's house on West
Third street. She was returning home,
and when near the scene of the killing,
she saw man whom she recognized as
Leavitt walk out from crowd and shoot
HaddOck. He then ran away, but in so
doing he ran against her. as she stood
about thirty feet from the little black
smith shop. and dropped his pistol" 1t
was about at that place that the revolver
was found, with one empty chamber.
Mrs. Patterson was deferred from testi-
flying through fear.
